Stevia is an alternative to artificial sweeteners with no added calories, no side effects, and very little aftertaste. Stevia is a widely available tabletop sweetener in Asian countries. Stevia leaves have been used for 1500 years by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay as a soothing tonic for the stomach and as a healing concentrate when cooked in water. It was first discovered and introduced to Europe in 1899 by M. S. Bertoni.

Stevia is an herb with a very long historical legacy. Stevia has been used for 1500 years by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay as a soothing tonic for the stomach and as a healing concentrate when cooked in water.

Stevia was first introduced to Europe in 1899 by M. S. Bertoni. Since then, hundreds of scientific tests have been performed on the leaves, which have been found to contain, among other nutrients, Vitamin C, calcium, beta-carotene, chromium, iron, magnesium, niacin, potassium, and silicon, along with fiber and protein. It is the intensely strong glycosides, referred to as steviosides (produced within the leaves), which make stevia so powerfully sweet to the tastebuds. Research has shown that the body does not digest or metabolize these glycosides. They are not converted into glucose in the body and therefore have a glycemic index of 0.

Storage:Due to the Beeyoutiful's Herbs and Bulk Foods being organic or wildcrafted, there is a slight chance that there could be some naturally occurring bugs. Beeyoutiful takes precautions on our end to minimize the chances, but we do suggest that you store them in a cold area - possibly the freezer - in an air tight container.

I was very sorry to learn that you will not be carrying this product any more after the current stock is gone. You are a great company to do business with and I use Stevia all the time to brew with my tea. Your prices are fair and your service very good.

I just received my first package of stevia leaves and brewed a cup of peach rooibus tea and included stevia leaves. The result was sweet and delicious! Does anyone know if you can put these leaves into a smoothie to make it sweet - or will it leave hard little leaves in my smoothie drink?

I've been using the cut leaf stevia for probably 10 years or more. I brew it with my tea bags for naturally sweet tea and I love it. I had previously bought it from another source for twice the price I pay here. Love the product and I'm very glad I found More Than Alive. (I also like that they included an witnessing tract with my order.) I will continue to order my stevia from them as long as I can.
